SharePoint Update List Item Approval Status Column

Good Afternoon...

 

I think im going to be posting alot as i start to try build some New Flows as its very limiting when it comes to SharePoint.

Today i seemed to have found a bug thats driving me a bit crazy.

 

Running an approval on a New Item being Added, then all i want to do is update the OTB Approval Status Column to match the outcome but the option does not appear for me and i have seen other threads having to build a custom column to resolve this. 

 

This should be standard and OTB with the existing SharePoint Features.

 

Any advice on whether this is a known issue or bug.

 

Kind Regards

 

Stuart

Hi, 

 

I am facing the same issue. 

Do you know if Microsoft has not fixed the issue yet. 

 

I have seen many videos with the demonstration of approval column but not able to get in my own environment.

I have an approval list for creation of new O365 groups.

I wanted to approve the list items directly from the email using flow.

I tried out myself but for some reason it did not work but using the method described below, I was able to do it. Thank you to the author!

Found this solution: https://www.techmikael.com/2018/05/use-microsoft-flow-to-implement.html#comment-form

I tried it out, I also works for me for approval of Sharepoint list items. Really helpful since microsoft has not implemented list items in "set content approval status".

 

Note: this solution is for Lists where Approval is enabled and the field is not a manually created field but maintained by the system so you can not use it in Flow.

Note: the approval process can take some time, for test purpose, wait multiple hours, first time took time for some reason, now it works fine.

Note: In "set content approval status", in Library name use List name but not the one from the URL

eg. https://...sites/teamsites/team-orders and the list name is Team orders, use Team orders as library name and not team-orders.

Don't know if all these steps are needed but it works for me.

Hope this helps!
